Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Oxyeleotris marmorata (a fish, no common name) - Uncertain Risk

Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.

Oxyeleotris marmorata is a large goby native to southeastern Asia and is considered commercially valuable in such countries as Malaysia and Singapore. This freshwater fish is commercially raised for human consumption and aquarium trade. Oxyeleotris marmorata has been introduced outside of its native range. However, no information has been found on impacts from the introductions. Therefore, the history of invasiveness for O. marmorata is data deficient. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low, with majority of States having low climate matches and Texas having an individually medium climate match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category for Oxyeleotris marmorata is uncertain.
